Enough is enough!
Two world leaders, their egos clashing like thunder, argue over petty differences while their nations suffer. Their words, like bombs, ignite the flames of war. Innocent lives are lost, their blood staining the earth. The world watches in horror, a silent witness to the senseless violence. It's a... (edited) read more

Saladin Another great leader of his time, the 3rd crusade is one of my favourite pieces of history.
Another leader I have great respect for. Even for a man of war, he was known to show great respect to hid opposition also other religious groups and the poor. He was also a great commander and warrior. Another interesting character.

The Sutton hoo helmet worn by the anglo saxons.
What craftsmanship, absolutely stunning and bad ass. When people thought europeans living in the dark ages had no skill or talent.
